2016 Map of Chambers Lake

About this map

The Medicine Bow Mountains, Mummy Range, and Never Summer Mountains converge in this high-elevation landscape, defining a critical hydrologic divide where the headwaters of the Laramie River and the Cache la Poudre River originate. The 2016 survey illustrates a complex network of water management and recreation centered around Chambers Lake and its associated Chambers Lake CG. Significant infrastructure including the Barnes Meadow Reservoir, Joe Wright Reservoir, and Long Draw Reservoir reflects the region's importance for water storage and transport via the Long Draw Road. The terrain is marked by distinctive alpine basins such as Trap Park and Corral Park, alongside the narrow Box Canyon. This map serves as a detailed record of the intersections between the Roosevelt National Forest, Routt National Forest, and Rocky Mountain National Park, tracing the trails and roads that provide access to high peaks like Bald Mtn and Iron Mtn.
